I want to define 02 primary keys in this migration, also need to define them in the model class. I m using laravel 9 version. When I define this. it gives the following error.
Schema::create('salaries', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id')->primary();
$table->unsignedInteger('emp_no')->primary();
$table->foreign('emp_no')->references('id')->on('employees')->cascadeOnDelete()->cascadeOnUpdate();
$table->integer('salary');
$table->date('from_date')->primary();
$table->date('to_date');
$table->timestamps();
});
Output
SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1068 Multiple primary key defined (SQL
: alter table `titles` add primary key `titles_id_primary`(`id`))
Try this way, here is my e.g:
Schema::create("kitchen", function($table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->integer('restaurant_id');
$table->string('name');
$table->unique(['restaurant_id', 'name']);
});
try this for a composite primary key
Schema::create('salaries', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->unsignedInteger('emp_no');
$table->foreign('emp_no')->references('id')->on('employees')->cascadeOnDelete()->cascadeOnUpdate();
$table->integer('salary');
$table->date('from_date');
$table->date('to_date');
$table->timestamps();
$table->primary(['id','emp_no','from_date']);
});
Or you can make necessary fields unique if it works for you
I tried to follow the documentation of laravel and laracasts, however I get an error in my migrations concerning foreign keys.
I have articles about games that are written by authors (users), so I want the user Id for the article.
This is my games table:
public function up()
{
Schema::create('games', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id('id');
$table->timestamps();
$table->string('name', 100);
$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('cascade');
$table->text('description');
$table->string('publisher');
$table->string('url');
});
}
And this my user table:
public function up()
{
Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->bigIncrements('id');
$table->string('name');
$table->string('email')->unique();
$table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
$table->string('password');
$table->rememberToken();
$table->timestamps();
});
}
If I understand correct I name the column in the games table 'user_id', and it references to the Id of the user, which is called 'id' in the user table?
When migrating however i get the error theres no user_id.
SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1072 Key column 'user_id' doesn't exist in table (SQL: alter table gamesadd constraintgames_user_id_foreign foreign key (user_id) references users (id) on delete cascade)
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Am I mixing up where I should refer to 'id' in the user table?
Migrations by default are run with the same order that they are been created, and in your case, the games migration is been executed before the user migration, and so you when migrating the games migration, there is no user table, and so
$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('cascade');
Will fail.
In order to solve this problem, rename the user migration with a date before the one that has the games migration
Thanks to #lagbox for having pointed it out:
This line is not creating a new field, but is just adding a constrain
$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('cascade');
Instead you should first create the field and then create the constrain:
$table->bigInteger('user_id)->...;
$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('cascade');
The way I usually do it is :
Creating the migrations files (containing all the fields)
Creating alterations files (adding FK)
Like that, when I run php artisan migrate the order of the migrations doesn't block anything.
With your code above you are trying to add a foreign constraint on a field which doesn't exist yet
I create migration in laravel 5.6.
I need add user information if the user was logged in my website else add 0 in column.
My code is:
$table->integer('user_id')->default(0);
$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users');
But aftre run migrate show this error:
SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1215 Cannot add foreign key constraint
I need add default 0 or null in column or add user_id in column if the user was logged in my website.
How to issue this problem?
You need to make it unsigned and nullable. Also, it's a good idea to separate creating a column and adding foreign key logic to avoid similar errors:
Schema::create('table_name', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->unsignedInteger('user_id')->nullable();
});
Schema::table('table_name', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users');
});
Data type will be diffrent for both user_id and id in users table.
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned()->nullable();
Primary keys created using in increments() will be unsigned integer
Use this short method
$table->foreignId('user_id')
->constrained()
->onUpdate('cascade')
->onDelete('cascade');
Laravel is smart enough to know that you are referencing to the users table
$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('cascade');
try this
I think everything i wrote correctly.When i run "php artisan migrate" command PDOException appear.I went through all over relevant post in stackoverflow.But i am not getting any solution.
enter image description here
[PDOException]
SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1005 Can't create table laravel_jobs.#sql-
ec4_170 (errno: 150 "Foreign key constraint is incorrectly formed")
The error: Can't create table laravel_jobs
So I don't think the problem is with the Resume table migration.
you should create your foreign keys after creating the table. like this:
public function up()
{
Schema::enableForeignKeyConstraints();
Schema::create('user', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->engine = 'InnoDB';
$table->uuid('id');
$table->primary('id');
$table->string('class_code');
$table->string('username')->nullable();
$table->string('email_address')->nullable();
$table->uuid('contact_id')->nullable();
$table->uuid('customer_id')->nullable();
$table->char('password_hash', 64)->nullable();
$table->boolean('active')->nullable();
$table->string('remember_token', 100)->nullable();
$table->timestamps();
});
Schema::table('user', function(Blueprint $table) {
$table->foreign('contact_id')->references('id')->on('contact')->onDelete('cascade')->onUpdate('cascade');
$table->foreign('customer_id')->references('id')->on('customer')->onDelete('cascade')->onUpdate('cascade');
});
}
you may however need to ensure the order that your migrations are ran is correct. Therefore you may want your create table function to create nullable foreign keys.
I think you need to update your migration code like :
Schema::create('resume', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->engine = 'InnoDB';
$table->increments('id')->unsigned()->index();
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('cascade');
$table->timestamp();
});
Hope this work for you!
Check the following terms:
1. The datatype of id column on users table and user_id on resume table are same.
2. If id is unsigned integer or big integer then user_id will be unsigned
integer or big integer.
3. Length of id on users table and user_id on resume table will be same.
Hope this solves your problem.
here is the answer for your question the user #lalitesh already found the solution
laracast
i hope you find your solution
When migrating my DB, this error appears. Below is my code followed by the error that I am getting when trying to run the migration.
Code
public function up()
{
Schema::create('meals', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
$table->integer('category_id')->unsigned();
$table->string('title');
$table->string('body');
$table->string('meal_av');
$table->timestamps();
$table->foreign('user_id')
->references('id')
->on('users')
->onDelete('cascade');
$table->foreign('category_id')
->references('id')
->on('categories')
->onDelete('cascade');
});
}
Error message
[Illuminate\Database\QueryException]
SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1005 Can't create table
meal.#sql-11d2_1 4 (errno: 150 "Foreign key constraint is

cascade)
When creating a new table in Laravel. A migration will be generated like:
$table->bigIncrements('id');
Instead of (in older Laravel versions):
$table->increments('id');
When using bigIncrements the foreign key expects a bigInteger instead of an integer. So your code will look like this:
public function up()
{
Schema::create('meals', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->unsignedBigInteger('user_id'); //changed this line
$table->unsignedBigInteger('category_id'); //changed this line
$table->string('title');
$table->string('body');
$table->string('meal_av');
$table->timestamps();
$table->foreign('user_id')
->references('id')
->on('users')
->onDelete('cascade');
$table->foreign('category_id')
->references('id')
->on('categories')
->onDelete('cascade');
});
}
You could also use increments instead of bigIncrements like Kiko Sejio said.
The difference between Integer and BigInteger is the size:
int => 32-bit
bigint => 64-bit
#JuanBonnett’s question has inspired me to find the answer. I used Laravel to automate the process without considering the creation time of the file itself. According to the workflow, “meals” will be created before the other table (categories) because I created its schema file (meals) before categories.
That was my fault.
You should create your migration in order
for example I want my users to have a role_id field which is from my roles table
I first start to make my role migration
php artisan make:migration create_roles_table --create=roles
then my second user migration
php artisan make:migration create_users_table --create=users
php artisan migration will execute using the order of the created files
2017_08_22_074128_create_roles_table.php and 2017_08_22_134306_create_users_table check the datetime order, that will be the execution order.
files
2017_08_22_074128_create_roles_table.php
public function up()
{
Schema::create('roles', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('name', 50);
$table->timestamps();
});
}
2017_08_22_134306_create_users_table
public function up()
{
Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->integer('role_id')->unsigned();
$table->string('name');
$table->string('phone', 20)->unique();
$table->string('password');
$table->rememberToken();
$table->boolean('active');
$table->timestamps();
$table->foreign('role_id')->references('id')->on('roles');
});
}
Just add ->unsigned()->index() at the end of the foreign key and it will work.
I got the same message for data type miss-matched problem.
I used bigIncrements() for 'id' and when I used it as foreign key (used bigInteger()) I got the error.
I have found the solution, bigIncrements() returns unsignedBigInteger. So need to use unsignedBigInteger() instead of bigInteger() in foreign key
Sharing this because it might help others
For me everything was in correct order, but it still didn't work. Then I found out by fiddling that the primary key must be unsigned.
//this didn't work
$table->integer('id')->unique();
$table->primary('id');
//this worked
$table->integer('id')->unsigned()->unique();
$table->primary('id');
//this worked
$table->increments('id');
if you are using ->onDelete('set null') in your foreign key definition make sure the foreign key field itself is nullable() ie
//Column definition
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned()->index()->nullable(); //index() is optional
//...
//...
//Foreign key
$table->foreign('user_id')
->references('id')
->on('users')
->onDelete('set null');
Laravel 5.8
In the foreign key column use unsignedBigInteger to avoid mismatch foreign key data type problem . For example let us assume we have two tables questions and replies
Questions table will look:
public function up()
{
Schema::create('questions', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->bigIncrements('id');
$table->text('body');
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
$table->timestamps();
});
}
Replies table look like :
public function up()
{
Schema::create('replies', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->bigIncrements('id');
$table->text('body');
$table->unsignedBigInteger('question_id');
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
$table->foreign('question_id')->references('id')->on('questions')->onDelete('cascade');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
Migrations must be created top-down.
First create the migrations for the tables who don't belong to anyone.
Then create the migrations for tables that belong to the previous.
Simplified answer to the table engine problem:
To set the storage engine for a table, set the engine property on the schema builder:
Schema::create('users', function ($table) {
$table->engine = 'InnoDB';
$table->increments('id');
});
From Laravel Docs: https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/migrations
In my case, the new laravel convention was causing this error.
Just by a simple swap of the table creation id did the trick.
$table->increments('id'); // ok
, instead of:
$table->bigIncrements('id'); // was the error.
Already working with Laravel v5.8, never had this error before.
I had to face the same problem at Laravel 6. I solve this following way.
I think it helps you or others:
$table->bigIncrements('id');
$table->bigInteger('user_id')->unsigned(); //chnage this line
$table->bigInteger('category_id')->unsigned(); //change this line
---
$table->foreign('user_id')
->references('id')
->on('users')
->onDelete('cascade');
$table->foreign('category_id')
->references('id')
->on('categories')
->onDelete('cascade');
Incrementing ID using a "big integer" equivalent.
used bigInteger instead of Integer
If still now you got an error.
I suggest you reorder your migration file following ways:
Change the dates that form the first part of the migration filenames
So they're in the order you want (example: for
2020_07_28_133303_update_categories.php, the date & time is
2020-07-28, 13:33:03);
N.B: First must be 'categories' migration file than 'meals' migration
File.
N.B:
In Laravel 5.6,
for $table->increments('id');
use $table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
Laravel 6: Update on 17 Jan 2020
$table->bigInteger( 'category_id' )->unsigned();
This worked well for me
In my case the problem was that one of the referenced tables was InnoDB and the other one was MyISAM.
MyISAM doesn't have support for foreign key relations.
So, now both tables are InnoDB. Problem solved.
Maybe it can be of help to anyone landing here : I just experienced this same issue, and in my case it was that I had a (composite) unique constraint set on the foreign key column BEFORE the foreign key constraint. I resolved the issue by having the "unique" statement placed AFTER the "foreign" statement.
Works:
$table->foreign('step_id')->references('id')->on('steps')->onDelete('cascade');
$table->unique(['step_id','lang']);
Doesn't work:
$table->unique(['step_id','lang']);
$table->foreign('step_id')->references('id')->on('steps')->onDelete('cascade');
Am using Laravel 8 and had the same error. The issue is that a both those columns eg users.id and meals.user_id where user_id is the foreign key need to be the same.
The users.id looks like this:
Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('name');
$table->string('email')->unique();
$table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
$table->string('password');
$table->rememberToken();
$table->timestamps();
});
In mySql id is an Int(10) unsinged AUTO ICREMENT.
If we go to a different table where we want to set a foreign key e.g. the one below I changed the user_id to be an unsigned() also. Previously I had written it as simply $table->integer('user_id') and this gave me the exception but now you won't encounter that error because they are both Int(10) and Unsigned:
Schema::create('users_permissions', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
$table->integer('permission_id')->unsigned();
//Foreign Key Constraints
$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('cascade');
$table->foreign('permission_id')->references('id')->on('permissions')->onDelete('cascade');
//Setting the primary keys
$table->primary(['user_id','permission_id']);
});
One way to get around foreign key errors is to disable checking: "SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS".
This is a palliative solution, but the correct thing is really to adjust the tables and their relationships.
DB::statement('SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;');
Schema::table('example', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->integer('fk_example')->unsigned()->index();
$table->foreign('fk_example')->references('id')->on('examples');
});
DB::statement('SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=1;');
I just use $table->unsignedBigInteger('user_id'); and solve it . (laravel 5.8)
I had the same problem , so i changed the creation date of my migration , changing this , i changed the execution order of the migrations , and the needed table was created first of the table i used it as a foreign key
The order of creation of migration files should be sorted and the foreign key should have exactly similar property as the primary key in the other table.
If you are still encountering the issue use this
$table->foreignId('project_id')
->constrained()
->onUpdate('cascade')
->onDelete('cascade');
It will just look up for that table and add a foreign key to it, it works.
Remember that this is important the referenced and referencing fields must have exactly the same data type.
You should first create Categories and users Table when create "meals"
To solve the issue you should rename migration files of Category and Users to date of before Meals Migration file that create those before Meals table.
sample:
2019_04_10_050958_create_users_table
2019_04_10_051958_create_categories_table
2019_04_10_052958_create_meals_table
It is a simple question, so give a simple answer and stop beating about the bush,
change your example $table->integer('user_id')->unsigned(); to $table->BigInteger('user_id')->unsigned(); to solve the foreign key error. so change integer to BigInteger in the migration file...
Please add ->nullable() on your field and make sure that all the fields you're referring to really exist.
Check in your database reference table must have primary key && auto increment
Drop the table which you want to migrate and Run the migrate again
I just added
$table->engine = 'MyISAM';
It worked.
It is because laravel by default creates tables with InnoDB Engine.
In my case, the problem was the difference between the table's engines. In my referenced table I didn't specify the engine.
It doesn't work
// Referenced table
Schema::create('budgets', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->timestamps();
$table->softDeletes();
});
// The other table
Schema::create('payment', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->engine = 'InnoDB';
$table->integer('budget_id')->unsigned()->nullable();
$table->foreign('budget_id')
->references('id')
->on('budgets')
->onDelete('cascade');
$table->timestamps();
});
To keep it under control, I recommend setting the engine on all your migrations to create tables. (Don't trust default database settings)
It works
// Referenced table
Schema::create('budgets', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->engine = 'InnoDB';
$table->id();
$table->timestamps();
$table->softDeletes();
});
// The other table
Schema::create('payment', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->engine = 'InnoDB';
$table->integer('budget_id')->unsigned()->nullable();
$table->foreign('budget_id')
->references('id')
->on('budgets')
->onDelete('cascade');
$table->timestamps();
});
Using Laravel 9~
I fixed mine by setting the id to increments, and assigned the foreign key to unsignedInteger, and then sort the migration file its the corresponding order.
My solution was based from #Swooth and #Muhammad Tareq solution
public function up()
{
Schema::create('cart_items', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->unsignedInteger('session_id')->index();
$table->foreign('session_id')->references('id')->on('shopping_sessions')
->onDelete('cascade');
}
You just need to create your migrations in order. Make sure you create the tables that don't receive any foreign keys first. Then create the ones that do.
And if you have already created your migrations, just change the time or date of your migrations so that tables that do not receive any foreign keys that are created before those that do.
